Chapter 302: The Vault
Back on the beach, the boat with the siren mark was still lying on the beach, no different from when it came.
It's just that it's already evening, and standing outside the boundary of the black fog, you can see that the sun has sunk low to the sea level, about to sink into another sky.
Karn pushed the boat into the sea, and the three of them hurried to board the boat in turn, removing their skin armor and leaving Sarah, who was empty, to paddle.
Suddenly there was a cry of hunger from his stomach.
"Hungry?" Kai'Sa looked at him suspiciously, the first time she heard Karn's stomach growl, and reached out to rub it with her cold hand.
It stands to reason that the skin armor never makes the host hungry, but the feeling of hunger is always there.
"I've had a breakfast since the morning, so it's normal to be hungry." Sarah stood and paddled, looking at the six paths, staring at the dangerous sea. She sped up her paddle, frowned and said, "Bear with me, you can eat when you go back." ”
Karn didn't say anything, just stared fixedly at the hourglass that glowed with blue light, and frowned when he saw some red liquid oozing from the blurry glass surface, dripping down like blood.
As night fell, the boat paddled to a rocky island.
The proprietress Fiet saw them from afar and walked out of the tavern to the docks to wait.
"You can go and rest, I'll just moored the boat." Fiyette smiled warmly.
"No, I'm not tired." Sarah declined the hostess's offer and tied the cable to the stake herself.
Karn went up to the docks, and when Fiet saw him holding a glowing crystal hourglass in his hand, he immediately said, "Is this the luck of a novice when he finds a treasure for the first time?" Hey...... It seems to be an ominous thing, and it looks like it's going to be locked up in the vault. ”
Kai'Sa glanced at the proprietress in surprise, thinking that this person should have seen a lot of treasures, and he saw things very accurately. At least the word "guan" is used very well.
"Is it time for dinner?" Kai'Sa asked.
She asked for Karn.
"I haven't done it yet, I usually have to wait for the number of people who come back to confirm it later before cooking, otherwise it will be a waste of too much, and it will be troublesome to do less and not enough to eat." Fayette said.
"Oh." Kai'Sa looked at Karn and noticed that his brow was furrowed, as if he was unhappy with the hand in his hand.
"Let's go to the vault first." Kahn said.
"Be careful." Fiet walked ahead, dodging the cracks in the rotten planks and bridges of the docks, then pushed open the door of no return, alerted Karn to the high threshold, and walked through the empty dining room to the main hall in the basement.
"Wait a moment in the main hall." With that, she slipped into the vault's room and closed the door behind her.
"What is she doing here? Guarding against us? Sarah raised her eyebrows.
"I guess I don't want people to see where the keys are."
After a while, the door opened, and Fiyette called a few people inside, and the three of them saw that the vault was open, and looked into it.
Rows of shelves were filled with glimmering antiquities, and cursed weapons filled the entire stand, letting out a faint, sharp lament. The amulet hanging on the wall was surrounded by a circle of blue ghostly fire, and the rusty box next to it vibrated and emitted the energy of a furious spirit.
The vault is filled with everything found by the residents of Fiyet. This is the most important service that Fiet offers – a safe place to store treasures between going out to sea and searching.
Only by ensuring that the treasure they are searching for is not coveted by other hunters can these hunters go out in search of another treasure with peace of mind.
"Are these things harmful?" Kai'Sa asked.
"No, it's safe...... I mean, they can be evil in their own right, but they can't hurt people if they are in the vault. Fiyette couldn't see much awe in the eyes of several people, and waved his hand: "I've lived on top of this thing for ten years, and I'm not dead yet!" ”
"But I don't usually let people come in and put things in person, give me the hourglass, and I'll put it on the shelf for you." Fiet spoke to Karn, motioning for him to hand her the crystal hourglass.
Karn handed the crystal hourglass over, but just as her hand was about to touch the red liquid oozing from the hourglass, Karn keenly noticed that her eyes were stained blood-red.
He immediately retracted the hourglass and asked tentatively, "Are you alright?" Do you want me to come? ”
Fiyette didn't answer, a strong feeling took over her mind, and she subconsciously covered her indented stomach.
She suddenly felt a craving for food, and wanted to rush into the freezer to nibble on raw meat and drink the entire barrel of beer. She felt her appetite multiply several times, and her stomach ached with a strong hunger pang.
In the end, she suppressed the feeling and was shocked by her savagery.
Fiet looked back at the hourglass in Karn's hand, her gaze focused on the blood-colored liquid on the surface of the glass. Now, as soon as she closes her eyes, a bloody and terrifying image comes to her mind.
The butcher with the cleaver, the mutilated corpse, the blood that was put on the floor, the mouth that kept swallowing......
This hourglass had the darkest magic attached to it, and she shouldn't touch it.
"You're right, come on, I'm not going to wear gloves." Fiet got out of the way, and Karn nodded and stepped into the vault with the hourglass.
He kind of understood why his stomach was screaming. The hourglass in his hand exudes the hunger of the Soul Eater, a gluttony that affects the human mind. Karn, on the other hand, didn't feel much because he was used to being hungry, but Fiet reacted violently as soon as he got closer.
Karn pulled his thoughts back, and behind him, he felt Fiet staring at him like a falcon, lest he steal from the occupants.
He behaved calmly, didn't take anything, but took a few more glances at the treasures next to him while looking for a suitable place.
Karn placed the crystal hourglass on a low shelf, then stepped back. Fiet didn't even give them a second look, and pressed his shoulder against the door of the vault, pushing it back with all his might.
The click of locks makes bones tremble.
"This vault has magic, and anyone who tries to open it without a key will be killed by the backlash. The first mate I hired on my return died in front of the gate, and several more died later, and thanks to them, the safety of this vault spread among the treasure hunters. ”
Fiyette said, telling the three of them to leave the basement, and she hid the key alone and went to the dining room.
"You can go upstairs and wait, don't cook so early."
"Oh." Karn led the two back to the room, and as she passed the door, Sarah sensed something was wrong.
Apparently she also smelled blood.
Karn closed the door, noticing that it was quiet next door, and thought that the Vastayas had gone out to hunt for treasure.
"We're crammed into this room?" Sarah looked around and immediately complained about the small room: "Oh my God, my legs can reach straight into your bed!" ”
